Taking money from your pension

You can usually take money from your pension from age 55 (57 from 2028). Up to 25% can be taken tax-free.

Anyone offering to release your pension before then is likely a scam.

Always check the age.

It offers to unlock your pension before 55. In the UK that is almost never legal: the tax bill alone can take over half, and the "scheme" often takes the rest.

1Where it livesIs it the real company's or person's own address or number?

aviva.co.uk is Aviva's own site.

pension-unlock-uk.online is a company nobody has heard of, on a throwaway address.

2What it asks you to doCheck firstDoes it want a password, a payment, a call, or a tap?

It explains when you can take money out, from 55, and how.

It wants your pension details for a "free review" to release cash now.

3How hard it pushesIs there a deadline, a threat, or a surprise charge?

No offer, no deadline.

"Any age", "cash in 7 days", "free review".

RememberNobody can legally give you your pension early. If someone offers, it's a scam: talk to your own provider.
